The Real Story on BBC World Service is where “Global experts and decision makers discuss, debate and analyse a key news story.”

At the end of May 2020, as the Space X Dragon Capsule took astronauts to the International Space Station, I had the privilege to join a brilliant panel to discuss “The privatisation of space travel.”

I learned a lot from my fellow presenters and thought this was a brilliant broadcast – now available as a podcast. See The Real Story- The privatisation of space travel to listen or download this 53 minute programme.
